The skin is one of the most important organs of the body, as it performs a multitude of functions. It is the first protective barrier to preserve us from multiple external aggressions (physical, chemical and infectious) to which we are exposed in our daily lives.
For this reason, it is very important to keep our skin clean by using specific products according to the area. Proper intimate hygiene maintains the natural protective barrier.
How to maintain good intimate hygiene
Some parts of our bodies are especially sensitive; the intimate area has an acidic pH to help keep the microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) that naturally inhabit it in balance. There are external factors that can cause an imbalance in these microorganisms, leading to infections, irritations and uncomfortable sensations such as itching and dryness. *1
Therefore, for proper intimate hygiene, it is advisable to use products such as Urogelus® with an optimal pH and specific ingredients that not only have cleansing properties but also respect the natural and physiological conditions of the mucous membrane and skin of the intimate area.
Tips for maintaining good intimate hygiene:
- Seek a balance in cleaning the intimate area. You should neither over-wash nor neglect it.
- Do not wash only with water; use products developed for this area that are natural, respect the physiological pH, and are clinically proven, such as Urogelus®
- Avoid humidity; dry it well after cleaning.
- Wear cotton underwear and change it often, especially after exercise.
- If you need to use diapers, sanitary pads or tampons, remember to change them frequently.
- Try not to overuse tight pants as they promote humidity.
- If your intimate area emits an odor and you want to get rid of it, do not use deodorants that unbalance your natural flora. You can use deodorants specifically designed for this purpose, such as Nodorin®.
Intimate hygiene in summer
In summer, the risk of infections increases due to conditions caused by heat, such as perspiration and contact with humid environments.
Therefore, although we should maintain good intimate hygiene all year round, it is necessary to reinforce the measures mentioned above during this season as our exposure to viruses and bacteria increases. 2
Consult your gynecologist or urologist if you experience any discomfort!
